A terminal metal fitting (10) includes a tubular box portion (11) receiving a counterpart terminal; a terminal spring (16) extending from an inner wall surface of the box portion (11) to press and contact to the counterpart terminal; and a deformation restriction portion (17) restricting deformation of the terminal spring (16) within a preset range when the terminal spring (16) contacts to the counterpart terminal. The deformation restriction portion (17) has a chamfered portion (17a) as a portion to contact to the terminal spring (16).

An electrical multi-connector feedthrough panel for sealing a penetration in a structure across a pressure differential, the panel including a frame having a first environmental interface surface and a second environmental interface surface configured to couple with the structure so that the first environmental interface surface and the second environmental interface surface span the penetration so as to at least in part seal the penetration, and a plurality of electrical connector insert shells monolithically formed with the frame, each of the plurality of electrical connector insert shells being configured to sealingly couple with at least one electrical connector, where the first environmental interface surface is disposed between the plurality of connector shells so as to be in fluid communication with a first pressurized environment, and the second environmental interface surface is disposed between the plurality of connector shells so as to be in fluid communication with a second pressurized environment.

An electrical connector includes a housing defining an internal connector space and mateable with a mating housing of a second electrical connector in a mating direction parallel to a mating axis, a pair of electrical contacts housed in the internal connector space and mateable with a plurality of second electrical contacts of the second electrical connector, and a lever housed in the internal connector space. A mechanical contact between the housing and the lever establishes a fulcrum of the lever. The fulcrum is arranged between the electrical contacts. A pivoting of the lever moves a position of the electrical contacts relative to the housing.

Connector receptacles that can provide a robust and reliable connection to a board and have a small form factor. An example can provide connector receptacles that provide a robust and reliable connection to a board by providing contacts having highly planarized solder tails. The solder tails can be supported by extensions of housing portions to provide consistent placement and alignment, as well an amount of shock absorption. The solder tails can include chamfered surfaces to improve soldered connections to pads of a board. The chamfered surfaces can also enable a reduced pitch between solder tails thereby helping to provide a reduced form factor.

It is aimed to provide a shielded connector capable of improving heat dissipation performance while suppressing enlargement. A shielded connector 10 includes a housing 11, a shield shell 12 for covering the housing 11 from outside, a connection terminal 14 to be accommodated into the housing 11 and electrically connected to a mating device, and an inner conductive member 13 for electrically connecting the connection terminal 14 and a wire W. High radiation portions 51 having at least a higher radiation rate than a core W1 of the wire W are provided on at least some of a surface 11a of the housing 11, a surface 12a of the shield shell 12, a surface 14a of the connection terminal 14 and a surface 13a of the inner conductive member 13.
